Safety & Reliability
The C70 scores the highest rating, Good, in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal offset and side-impact crash tests, as well as for rear-crash protection.
In addition to the required front airbags, the C70 comes with door-mounted airbags that are designed to stay inflated in the event of a rollover, as well as roll bars that deploy from behind the rear seats if the C70 is about to roll over. See the full list of safety features here.
